PIXELIXE - N8N CERTIFICATE AUTOMATION STARTER
Version: 29 October 2026

CONTENTS
- n8n-csv-certificates.json: manual trigger, CSV download, CSV extraction,
  template configuration, authenticated rendering, and returned image URLs.
- certificate-template.json: portable source design; demonstration data only.
- certificate-example.csv: three fictional recipients, including accented and long names.

ONE-TIME PIXELIXE SETUP
Use a Pixelixe account with API access. Create the source design by POSTing
certificate-template.json to https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/jsontographic/v2
with Content-Type: application/json and Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
The document_name uses only letters, digits, underscores and hyphens as required
by that endpoint. Save the returned document_uid in your own workspace.
Every rendering consumes the usage applicable to your plan. This starter
produces three PNGs; no PDF generation or bulk ZIP service is implied.

N8N
1. Import n8n-csv-certificates.json from the workflow menu.
2. Create a Header Auth credential: name Authorization, value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
   Select it on "Render certificate with Pixelixe". No real credential is exported.
3. Set your saved document_uid in "Configure your template".
4. Run manually. "Return certificate URLs" should contain three successful items.
5. Replace the CSV URL with a trusted CSV you control when ready. Columns are
   recipient_name, course_title, issue_date, issuer_name. Keep the header row.
The default workflow has no schedule, sends one render request at a time,
and writes no data back to another service.

VALIDATION AND LIMITS
Read VALIDATION.txt for the exact checks performed and their limitations.
The workflow and benchmark are examples, not a throughput or savings guarantee.
Store keys in credentials where the automation platform supports them. Never
share an export containing an API key, your Google connection or customer data.
